Tammy Abraham is keen on to leave the club this summer in order to play regular first-team football, with Romelu Lukaku arriving at Stamford Bridge departure is more likely.
There has been plenty of interest in the 23-year-old forward over the past few months with AS Roma and Atalanta keen on to sign him.
Roma have made a breakthrough, agreeing on a deal with the Blues that would see Abraham making a £29.65m (€35m) move to Stadio Olimpico, according to Il Messaggero.
However, the report from Britain claims that now Arsenal are favourites to get the deal for Abraham as the player is keen on remaining in the Premier League.
Whether the Gunners can hijack Roma’s move remains to be seen, however, it seems English centre-forward is at least getting closer to the Stamford Bridge departure.
Arsenal joined the race to sign Denis Zakaria
Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder, Denis Zakaria is poised to depart from the club this summer, with Arsenal alongside with their Premier League rival Tottenham and Everton are in the race for his signature.
The Swiss midfield star has entered the final year of his current deal and is ready to make a move on from Gladbach.
According to BILD , there is ‘no longer any doubt that Denis Zakaria is departing from the club’ – the question is where he will end up.
The Gunners have already signed Lokonga and are likely to tie down Granit Xhaka to supplement Thomas Partey, however, another arrival is not out of the question.
